Ann of Holy Experience has some very inspiring thoughts on making every moment of the day count for eternity. Holy Experience was the first blog I ever read, and she always refreshes my spirit.
Her family has seven “rungs” that they commit to climb everyday: Listening, Love, Labor, Loveliness, Literature, Language & Logic
“ How do we know everyday what is a worthwhile investment of our time and what will burn up, straw at the end of time? How do we cultivate not simply well-trained minds, but nurture holisitic, well-lived lives? How do we work everyday towards raising up children, who are not merely academic automatons, but exuberant, soul-healthy, worshipers of God, committed to meaningful, eternal Kingdom work? How do we set our ladders against the right wall, and make the opportunity of today count for eternity?”
I printed out her thoughts & will be praying about a list of our own. I LOVE the idea of striving as a family to present our day as an offering.
Take a few minutes and go read this. It just might change your life.
Awesome encouraging read. I want my boys to have a prayer/blessing journal. I want to make a notebook page for us to talk about at dinner including the 5 L’s. Thanks for the idea! Hope you are feeling better!
Ann is always a constant source of encouragement to me… I visit her daily. The Lord has a way of speaking directly through her to me. She amazes me at her beautiful style of writing.
BTW… LOVE THE NEW HEADER! AWESOME!
